How much power will it be worth? Where is best place to get these parts you speak of?
Are there any other suggestions?

I have plenty invested already, this money is for my toy. Please refer to original question. I am not here for finance advice. I want power. You know the old saying, "In this country,first you get the money, then you get the power,THEN you get the woman." I have the money, now need POWER, i got women, maybe with more fast car i will get more women though.

is this pulley and ecu different than kleeman, someone gave me a $2400 for kleeman ecu and pulley. What is this speedshift you speak of? Is it a part or some programing? Is there a website with the throttle body?

Both pulleys are modified oem pulley and similar in size. Software is different. Speedshift is the programming of the Tranny computer unit.

thats probably very typical thinking for men with tiny dicks...
are u sure the power in that 'old saying' means horsepower of your car? you dun only need english class, i think you need education....

ur calling a 55 a SLOW car ?
I dont know about U but i think the SL 55 amg is one of the best feeling cars as of speed / power i ever driven that is STOCK.
use that 10 grand and make the car 6spd . maybe then u would enjoy those gears abit more .

probably he still couldn't get any chicks with his car.... i think when that happens, it's more useful to visit a plastic surgeon instead of a garage....

Judgeing by our clients's postings and feedback about our 55K work....I am sure that you would be very happy with our setup......and save some money to boot!
One of our clients posted his dyno with our ECU and headers at 489 @ the wheels, which will equate to not far under 600 at the crank. We have a few more additions that will help you get where you want to be......and remain reliable

I would suggest reading through the sl and e55 forums a bit to get an idea on the mods, instead of asking everyone here to spell out everything .. example, the VRUS throttle body has like over 15-20 pages on it and people who are using it .. I'm not saying don't ask questions (I do all the time), just look a little to be able to speak intelligently on what is out there .. instead of "is this good, what is this, how can I get more power" .. kind of makes you sound like a guy who bought a kick *** car and has no idea about what he just spend $50-100k on ..
just my .02 cents.
